FESTUS, Mo. (KSDK) - Patrick Thomson's battle round appearance on NBC's "The Voice" Tuesday night won't just help his own music career. It could also help the burgeoning music scene in Festus get national exposure.

"There's a lot of talent out here that doesn't get the spotlight that it deserves," said Luke Tetrault, whose family owns and operates Taytro's Bar & Bistro in Festus. "The fact that Patrick's out there leading the way, there couldn't be a better musician in the area to lead our charge. I think it's going to be great for everybody."

"I know Patrick real well, so I know that he has a very eclectic view of music," he said. "Just pinpointing him is always tough. He can really sing anything, you know, from Joe Cocker to Blind Melon, he really does a great time with it. If it's good music, you can expect him to try to sing it."

Music isn't Thomson's only talent, according to Tetrault. He helped put in the tile at Taytros, and "build that place from the ground up."

"He's probably just as good at carpentry as he is at singing," Tetrault said. "He can rewire your entire business…and manage it too."

Tetrault thinks Thomson's appearance on "The Voice" will only help the community. That's why he's met with multiple business owners and city officials, and led an effort to make t-shirts and print posters to build his fan base.
